The answer is - a guy can't even correct himself with a lighthearted
chuckle without someone taking offense or questioning the movitation.

Now, regarding your answer - I believe that you just want to pick a
fight, because this cannot possibly be so important that you had to
call me on it.

Oh, I see. I misunderstood it as a laugh at the expense of people who use
the correct terminology; I had not yet seen any posts from you where you
used the word "saddle" yourself.

If I want to pick a fight I'll call you a nasty name.
